great job editing the video + thanks for sharing that fact! I remember back in the day when Capcom put out that MvC2 mixtape, but don't remember there being one for HD Remix. for the latter, I was probably too focused on how the OST was pulled from OCRemix's SF2 tribute album. it's interesting to think about how Capcom put out these hip-hop tapes back then, and it makes me wonder just how well they were received by general audiences and fans of those fighting games.

This is pretty cool info! Could you please tell me the version you used of the Street fighter 2 theme for this video? its been killing me.

@@KaiokenPenguin Funny enough, it's the main menu theme in the 30th Anniversary Collection

@@Brunty023 Thank you, that would make sense, I haven't really played it lol,

"Yeah that makes sense"

I still play it till this day , personally my favourite fighting game ever.

Max has a way with putting the info you need and the anecdotes that come with these games into a really enjoyable format.

I was just finna say it looks mad sus 😂

Akuma coming for them cheeks 😅

Max is gonna get bodied by Akuma. R.I.P.

Damn Daniel Ur ur ur ur

​@@Antronix3yall have a dirty mind... it doesn't look sexual at all.

"Korezo Messatsu!!!" - Probably Akuma

My opinion on 3DO is ,"well... At least it's not a CD-I" Least 3DO had a few cool games in its library.

Line scrolling and background animations are busted on the 3DO. T. Hawk is missing his dn+fierce chest dive animation.... it uses the Diving Condor special animation, instead! I returned my console + game to Babbages over the unsatisfactory port, even at the $400 reduced price. The manager was NOT happy to see me. I did really like the soundtrack tho 👍

@@TexasHollowEarth The background issues were definitely noticeable in direct comparisons - much less so when I was in Sweden and six months removed from the last time I played it in the arcades. :) Yeah, the soundtrack was definitely the best part of it for me. For what it's worth, the killer apps for the 3DO were really in different genres for the most part. My favorite was Star Control II, which was a big improvement over the PC version at the time. Second favorite would be the original version of Need for Speed and close behind that, Road Rash 3DO.

@@Jeffmetal42 It definitely did. I even kept it as my only 32-bit system all the way until Christmas 1997. Even some of the games that didn't have gameplay that stood the test of time had soundtracks that were really great. For example Guardian War, which featured music by composers that went on to work on Bust-A-Move 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Sonic Generations.

there was a time in my life, that i wanted a 3DO more than anything- for Way of the Darn Warrior. i was a dumb kid- but loved MK and White Zombie. it just seemed so mysterious. Kull the Skele-guy still owns. (i never got a 3DO)

yeah it's something hyper sf2 doesn't fix.

You know I recently got to play SSF2T for the first time and that was exactly what happened It really was demotivating, it did make me think "i'm horrible at street fighter I probably shouldn't have purchased the game"

Coolest shit about the arcade for me was learning new moves and combos at school from friends and writing them down to take to the arcade lol people would show up with whole notebooks full of shit for different games then we'd take each other's notes to Kinkos and copy them lol

I well remember hanging out at a local arcade not long after Super Turbo came out watching a local pro tear through arcade mode(no one wanted to challenge him). So he gets to Bison and suddenly this red haired dude in a black gi teleports onto the screen, annihilates Bison, and then proceeds to mop the floor with this pro player. The crowd around the machine went NUTS.

It was super special man.

Yyeah I was like 8? When I was washing grown ass men at the children of the atom arcade cabinet.

I'm 45, I was pretty much at the perfect age for all these video games, and I can tell you, it was pretty great.

Yes and the name "Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge" is simply the Japanese arcade game name for what we in the U.S. call "Super Street Fighter II: Turbo". I have the arcade motherboards for both the American and Japanese releases. The CPU difficulty is very fair and reasonable in the Japanese release, and is unbearably brutal and full of ass pulls in the American release.

Wasn't this version also the one where you could play as Tien Akuma, complete with double air fireball and raging demon?

He’s literally just a guy. The ball gargling is crazy.

There was most certainly not a six month lag between American arcades and Japanese arcades getting SSF2T. Both got it in February 1994. The ROMs for both are dates February 23, 1994. It was not a glitch that had the American release feature brutally unfair difficulty replete with ass pulls, that's just how they wanted it to play.

That gamepad was trash lol

There was a 6 button controller released that I did pick up with the game from CompUSA: the PC Fighter 6. Very similar design to the Genesis 6 button, so it was perfect for sf2. The Gravis pad was never going to work.

Yeah, shame that it doesn't get the credit it deserves. I played that version for years. IMO it is better than the 3DO port (which doesn't have the parallax effects) and it was so impressive back in the day. You could run it on as little as a 386 processor, and once running with all bells and whistles turned on it was basically feeling like the arcade at home (which it wasn't due to changed aspect ration and kinda zoomed in playing field), but that port was absolutely brilliant at the time.

agree, great format

Max didn't mention the Akuma bug in the GBA port. But yeah, those new stages are a sweet additions to MUGEN games.

it was my first ever SF and fighting game in general (that i owned not that i played). i never knew heavy attacks were even a thing because of that weird control scheme and the game not being translated into my language

GBA games are a treasure trove for fans of sprite artwork, some truly gorgeous stuff.

Decades

@@AndersonTenecela good times! I still play it, too!

I have alpha 3 on gba that bison boss fight was painful. But that shin akuma boss was extremely painful when playing as evil Ryu.

there was even a pc yes, a dos pc version of that game super street fighter II turbo

You’re old as hell

i have to play that, that sounds awesome fun

Thank God, I was struggling so much there with Grief. Could not pass the 1st stage after like 50 tries and then I just went back to "training" mode 😂. Edit: Grief was not intended but the auto correct made it funny.

That wasn't SSF2T, it was the previous version, Super Street Fighter II. The four cabinet edition was subtitled "The Tournament Battle", whereas the single cabinet release was subtitled "The New Challengers". It used S-Video cables to network the cabinets. Capcom was going to have a similar four cabinet release for SSF2T, but never finished it because the sales of "The Tournament Battle" were not good. The unfinished code is in the arcade ROM for SSF2T but isn't complete enough for anyone to do anything useful with it.

Only thing is they gave Ken and Guile some shitty waterdown stages, unlike the Port and the Pentagon from the original Super Turbo, we got the Bronx and Pearl Harbor instead completely missing the background spectators.

@Rusty Shackleford I can confirm that code works. I did it once but unfortunately unsuccessful other times I tried to do it.

Shin Akuma was also playable in the Dreamcast version of Super Turbo, you just had to beat the game with regular Akuma.

I had to take my disc back 3 times as they kept saying they'd fixed it and the fixed versions were also busted.

I had the cd version. Gametek the morons miss printed the disc without the music for the first few editions. I had to take it back and buy it again later. It was an "ok" port but they did fuck it up by making the screen size 70% of the width of what it should be. Meaning you could pretty much jump kick people from full screen.

@@Podbod Yes I remember doing that! The music in my version consisted of midi files. Also I had to enter a word from the manual every time I ran the game.

@@Podbod They had to do that to maximize performance and compatibility - standard DOS resolution used to be 320x200 (your safest bet to work even on setups that predate the VGA standard), ST in the Arcade runs at 384×224 pixels. They didn't redraw anything but instead cropped the playfield (which was imo the right choice, because the performance of the game even on slow machines is great and it is basically the arcade version, with all the features missing from the 3DO port like animations (Elephants!) and linescrolling / parallax plus old versions). Once patched it is perhaps the best DOS fighting game apart from the brilliant Mortal Kombat ports. A shame about it not being arcade perfect, but I don't see how they could have done it any other way without messing up the graphics/performance/compatibility. Even going 640x480 you would run into the issue that it would never be properly fullscreen and I don't think people would have liked playing the game in some weird letterbox format.
